Climate
change may wake up 'sleeper' weeds
(Mar 26, 2009) Commonwealth to the Scientific and Industrial
Reaserch Organization (CSIRO). Australia.
Climate
change will cause some of Australia’s
potential weeds to move south by up to 1000km,
according to a report by scientists at CSIRO's
Climate Adaptation Flagship. Weeds cost Australia
more than A$4 billion a year either in control
or lost production and cause serious damage
to the environment.
